I found everything exactly as on my own setup.  It accepts my WPA key then 
requests a WEP key.

Yes, this may be a kernel issue, because wireless worked when I installed out 
of the box, but the cabled connection didn't.  It may be that I have to go 
back to the original kernel and manage without cabled altogether for the 
present.  That could be one solution. I will alter the number of kernels kept 
(I can't remember, off-hand where that is, but I'm sure I'll find it).

Is there any way to make an older kernel the default boot?
